Knot Invariants and Higher Representation Theory
by Ben Webster
Publisher: arXiv 2013
Number of pages: 87
Description:
We construct knot invariants categorifying the quantum knot variants for all representations of quantum groups. We show that these invariants coincide with previous invariants defined by Khovanov for sl_2 and sl_3 and by Mazorchuk-Stroppel and Sussan for sl_n.
